About: I'm an animal lover through and through! I adopted my dog Moose from Austin Animal Center 7 years ago, and have loved having her by my side. I love all breeds, have experience with puppies to seniors and have experience administering medication if needed. Looking forward to meeting you! I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Friday, which is great for being able to keep an eye on pups during the day! I'm available for boarding, drop-in's, or a walk (location dependent). As someone who has used dog sitters, I know it can be nerve wracking to leave your dog in someone else's care. That's why I love to send photos and text updates multiple times throughout the stay, and am quick to respond to any questions. To me, pets are more like family members, so I want to make sure they're as comfortable and safe as possible. I have a large fenced in back yard, plenty of toys, and you can bet your pup will be invited onto the couch for a cuddle!

“Arianne provided excellent care for Izzy. Izzy is usually shy and takes time to warm up to new individuals, but she connected with Arianne very quickly. This immediately put me at ease. I would absolutely recommend Arianne to anyone seeking a caring and trustworthy individual.”


“First time using Rover… worked out great. After meeting Asha, I was very confident I had chosen the right dogsitter for my dog Brandi. Brandi is a senior dog and can get nervous if there is too much commotion. Asha provided a very calm space for Brandi. I was able to enjoy my day in Austin not worried about Brandi. Thanks to Asha and Rover”


“Madeline is wonderful! Her reviews don't lie... she is worth every penny. We originally were going to use her doggy day care services while I was on a work trip. Now, we take our pup over there once a week so that Duke gets to socialize with other dogs. Every time, he has come home happy and TIRED! Madeline has a huge heart for animals and is very responsive to schedule requests and during stays. Duke can't wait to see her again!”


“Sydney was great with maple! She gave her treats and a lick mat and Maple had a great time with her pup! She came back at the end of the day very relaxed and happy. I’ve already booked a boarding stay with her for next time!”


“It’s hard to leave your pet for the first time, anxiety and nerves are common. But seeing how Perla had an excellent day under your care, I would definitely leave her in your care again. You are always attentive and responsive to messages. Thank you!!!”


“Marissa was very attentive to our puppy. She went out if her way to talke extra care of her, gave her medicine and always walked her and sent us picttires. She was very responsible and easy to work with”


“Ian - Deacon told us he very much enjoyed coming by and playing with Misty and the gang. He said they all made him feel right at home. He's bugging us already to get back over. Thank you Ian...he's a special little guy and you and your crew gave him a very special day.”


“Erika was professional, friendly, did a great job taking care of Sesame. I was impressed by her clear communication, and I would definitely trust my dog with her again.”


About: I've taken care of friend's and family's dogs for years! Natural dog lover at heart but unfortunately haven't been able to adopt a fur-friend of my own. Experience with shy timid dogs that need a calm friendly companion to look after them! I currently WFH so have lots of time to spend with you pups! Available for day care and boarding week days and or weekends depending on need Live without any other pets so your pup will have a calm relaxing environment to stay and roam in (plus all the undivided attention!). Can easily crate your dog too if needed

“Pierre is wonderful and really saved the day with our short notice booking! He asked questions to get to know our boy Marzipan and put us at ease with a couple updates earlier in the visit. Pierre is confident, kind, and attentive— lots of walks! Added bonus is his own dog whose energy was a great match. 100% recommend.”


About: I’ve had pets in my household my entire life. From hamsters to dogs and everything in between. I’ve taken care of both newborn and elderly animals. They all deserve our love. Whenever I’m not traveling for my job I am at home full time for work. I take my dog out for long walks twice a day. I compliment the animals energy. If they want to be active I’m active. They feel like playing I’ll reciprocate. Relaxing and keeping it quiet? I’m more than happy to oblige.

About: Hi, I’m Kat. I work remotely and live in Riverside with my rescue pup, Canela. She’s calm, cuddly, and incredible with all kinds of dogs—high-energy doodles, shy rescues, curious puppies, and slow-moving seniors. We’ve been on Rover since 2023 and have loved getting to know so many personalities. We’re a team—Canela brings the warmth, playfulness, and calm energy that helps other dogs feel right at home. She loves to wrestle with high-energy pups and also vibes easily with senior dogs who just want a slow walk and a cozy nap. A lot of pet parents book us because their dogs connect with her so quickly. Her adventures are well-documented—feel free to ask me about her IG if you’re curious! I’ve cared for dogs with seizure disorders, glaucoma, heartworms, arthritis, and severe PTSD. I’m comfortable with dogs who need medication or extra support. I’ve also helped raise and train puppies just starting to figure out the world. When I’m not on Rover, I regularly sit for friends and family—this work comes naturally to me and I take it seriously. We live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to a large gated dog park and nearby green space. I offer quick trips to the dog park for social pups. I also offer 60–90 minute adventure walks, which are more involved than a standard walk—they include pickup, trail time, and can even include a pup cup stop. These are great for dogs who need more enrichment while you’re away. Because I work from home, I’m flexible with midday walks and drop-in visits, and I’d genuinely love to do more of both. Whether your pup needs a short visit, a long walk, or just some company while you’re out, I’ve got the time and energy to give. For every booking—whether it’s walks, boarding, drop-ins, or house sitting—I provide daily updates and photos through a shared Notes doc. It’s a simple way to keep you in the loop without needing to check in. If you’re looking for consistent, thoughtful care from someone who really sees your dog and treats them like family, I’d love to work with you. As a freelancer with a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely, I offer personalized rover care that fits seamlessly into your dog's routine. Early in the morning or late evening for playtime playtime. I'm always just a message away, ready to provide updates, share photos, and address any concerns you might have My apartment complex has a large gated dog park, and Mayfair Park is just a 3-minute walk away. If your dog loves playtime, Canela is ready for drop-ins. She is very calm and friendly! I also have a doggy camera, a large crate, and plenty of toys. We are a 5-minute drive from the town lake boardwalk. Canela enjoys a good drive and we are happy to bring your pup along!

“Raquel was the perfect pet sitter! She was very friendly and accommodating. I received plenty of photo and video updates during my puppy’s stay and she looked like she was having a great time. I especially appreciated her sending many pictures of her interacting with my puppy, I know she received plenty of attention during her stay. I would highly recommend this pet sitter!”


About: With nearly four years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for my own childhood pup, I understand the importance of trust and personalized attention when it comes to your pet. Working from home allows me the flexibility to offer care while you’re at work or enjoying time with friends. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some company during the day, I’ve got it covered! I’m experienced with senior dogs, ensuring they get the medications they need on time, as well as sticking to special diets when required. From puppy energy to senior snuggles, I treat each dog like they’re my own, providing the love and attention they deserve. Let me give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands! As someone who works from home most days, I have the flexibility to give your dog all the attention they need—including frequent bathroom breaks and daily walks along the beautiful Lady Bird Lake! Living close to the lake and surrounded by Austin’s many parks, I can ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time to run, play, and explore. Since I’m already walking by the lake every day, bringing a furry friend along just adds to the fun! Whether it’s a casual stroll or an energetic play session, your dog will have an adventure-filled day while you’re away. Let me make sure they enjoy Austin’s outdoor beauty to the fullest!! While I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space to comfortably crate your dog if needed, with options in the living room or entryway. Located near Lady Bird Lake and several parks in Austin, your dog will have ample opportunities to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I treat every dog with the same care and love as my own, and I’m committed to respecting your home too. You can trust me to leave your space exactly as I found it, ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: Hi I’m Maddie. I’m a grad student that just moved to the area and am missing some puppy love! I’ve dog sat for all types of breeds and have taken care of my pet vizsla in college and at home. I’m used to high energy dogs and can go on walks or runs to give your pet some exercise as well. My schedule varies week to week but message me with requests and I’ll get back to you asap. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet :) My schedule varies week to week but many of my classes are remote which gives me flexibility. My busiest days are Wednesdays so bookings may be limited then. I live in an apartment on Lady Bird Lake Trail so I can easily run or walk your dog on the trail and give them plenty of exercise! I am also used to going to clients’ homes and will leave your residence as it was upon entry.

About: Hi, I’m Kiana! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so I’m pretty comfortable around all kinds of pups. Right now, I have a sweet golden retriever puppy named Ellie who’s super friendly and loves meeting new dogs. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to offer regular walks, drop-ins, or even have your dog stay with me. We live right by a beautiful trail, so it’s easy to get outside for walks every few hours. Ellie and I would love to have a new friend to hang out with! I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home, whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just a quiet day of relaxation. Looking forward to meeting your pup! I am not working in office right now, and have plenty of time to care for your pet! I’m available all week days and most weekends. I have a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to move around. I live right next to a trail, making daily walks easy, and there’s a dog park nearby that I visit regularly with my own Golden Retriever. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need.

13. Aneesha P.
“Aneesha has watched my dog overnight several times. My dog is pretty laid back and she’s potty trained, so she doesn’t require a lot of special care. Aneesha takes her to the dog park for her potty breaks, feeds her according to her normal eating schedule, and occasionally takes her on walks along Lady Bird Lake. My dog doesn’t do well with a lot of stimuli, so walking her around a bunch of people and other dogs is not an easy task. She plays with my dog and works on reinforcing her commands when she gives her treats.”

19. Madison O.
“Madison is a loving and seasoned dog caretaker. She is especially great with energetic dogs (a difficult task for most people!) and will even go on long runs with energy driven dogs like Vizslas (I wish I could run a mile let alone run at the same pace as a dog). I will never forget the love and care she gave my senior Maltese Brady up until his last days. She really is the best.”
